中文摘要：

改革开放以来,发展农村合作经济已成为解决我国＂三农＂问题的重路径。但受传统发展理念的限制,我国合作经济发展未能突破原有的组织结构、类型和模式。因此,有必引入和阐释近几十年来国外理论界和实践界都十分关注的社群经济发展理念,探讨合作经济与社群经济的关系,以及社群经济对农村经济社会发展的理论价值和实践意义。分析认为,合作经济只是社群经济的一个基本形态。在发展观念上,有必从传统的合作经济理念转向涵义更广和实践性更强的社群经济发展理念,这有助于拓展农村发展思路和创新发展模式。

英文摘要：

Since the implementation of reform and opening-up policy, developing rural cooperative economy has become a key pathway for solving issues concerning agriculture, countryside and farmers.However, limited by the traditional ideas of development, no breakthrough has been made in the organization structure, type and model of cooperative economic development. In this paper, we introduce community economy or community-based economy, a new development theory which has caused a wide concern in academic and practical fields in recent decades, discuss the difference and connection between cooperative economy and community economy, and go on to analyze the important guiding significance of community economy to rural development in China. Our conclusion shows that cooperative economy is only a basic form of community economy, and thus we suggest that we should change our guiding theory for rural development,i. e., from cooperative economy idea to community economy idea. Such a change is conducive to expanding rural development ideas and innovating rural development model.
